Loco Runaround problem

[Ian_Coleman]

When I use this rule in order to send the loco to the front of the train after reaching the terminus, it generally works OK, but I am having trouble at one terminus, when after the loco has run round, the next order is a Drive to... command, but the loco just pushes the train back towards in the opposite direction. I have tried using signals, removing signals, and everything else I can think, yet all to no avail!
Any suggestions please?
(I'm using Trainz 2006)

You could try a change direction command after the Run Round and before the Drive To ...

2006 had that problem with run around train now the have a extended run around but in those crazy situations I use uncouplz from then a track marker then another to get the engine around the trin then couple to car....

You could try the "Couple To" command (by knowing the name/number of the railcar).

AI is pretty cool ... but even on prototype RR's, the only thing similar is ROCO (remote control) ... which is no more automatic than manually driving a loco using a model airplane radio controller ... which is what prototype RR's do, drive locos manually.

If after the 'run around train' you use 'stop train' it should work OK

I couldn't find "stop train". However, I've fixed the problem! It was a faulty junction further along the track. I deleted it and re-installed the junction, and now everything works perfectly!
Thank you all for your suggestions. They were much appreciated. As I'm 80 years old, I'm not the brightest light on the track!

I am 89, so several years your senior. I could find 'stop train' on the DLS.
